More characters to come... it took me longer than expected to get this far. Includes some (barely noticeable) ink-traps and slight variations in line-width in places to maintain optical balance.

This is an old font of mine. Wow, it's more than a year old. Yeah I thought I'd share it with you. I'll make some extended latin and such now.

Modern economical form of letters should consist of standardized geometry, ie a straight line and arc (...). Readability results from the habit. Overcoming the habits and prepare the ground for the introduction of the letters in printing can be achieved by their use in graphics, posters, headlines, etc.

does it work?

A "deconstructed" exercise. I got the idea when I fontstructed in a grid that turned out to be a bit narrow. I could only place two of three horizontal lines where I wanted them, so I decided to see what happened if I simply skipped the third. The result turned out to be quite legible even though many glyphs had gaps where the important baseline should be. I especially liked the lower case letters. The concept is presumably not unique though...

This typeface has been created based on the theme 'Vibration'. I tried out a wide range of experimentation when it came to producing hand rendered work, as I felt I needed to work out what would best capture the general sense of the word.
I tried using inks on elastic bands, attaching pens to a playstation controller and drawing, photographing food colouring over a speaker; all sorts. Finally, I decided I needed something which really reflected the word clearly. I looked at the white noise and the trails that you get on the television, and applied this feel to a sans serif font I had made based on Georgia (minus the Serifs)
One of the most time comsuming things I've ever done, hope its been worth it.
Any comments welcome.This is a clone

I made this typeface as part of a project named 'Found Type', basing it on the word 'vibration'. I decided to make my font look like the visual representations of sound, looking at the marks made in the music program GarageBand when I recorded music on it for inspiration.
I created a structured base alphabet, and later added lines to make the letters look like sound waves.This is a clone of piece of pie

This font was based on the word pompous. It was created for a typography brief set in my first year at UWE Bristol. From the word pompous I was inspired to look at black letter fonts and ornate styles of decoration. Any feedback would be appreciated! If you use this font within your work please post a link with your final outcome, as its always nice to see your creation in action!
Heres a link to my specemin poster

The original starting point for this typeface was "Decay." I was thinking about what is left after something has completely decayed, which brought me to the idea of using skulls. After having created the skull outline, I tried different ways of including the letterforms, and decided that the simpler the better (and more readable.) As a result, the typeface has gained a sort of old-school computer game-esque feel - hence the name.

Inspired by a lack of hard work, sitting down and laying back. Remove yourself from stress and responsibility. Despite the theme this font arrived from investigation into missing letters, bars, stems and other parts. Experiments drawing with the wrong hand, eyes closed and allowing the pen to do its own thing. 'The new italic'. A font for those who generally cant be bothered.
First year Graphic Design module for UWE Bristol. Theme = Lazy.

A fat face, in the same school as "MegaSpacer", but this one has more bulk and huge differences between thick and thin. And it comes with upper case characters.

Inspired by the fantastic "MICR" font set. And the Solaris font design from the nineties by Büro Destruct (ah, those were the days). Old but good ideas brought to Fonstruct. Fun and easy as pie.

A cool font made of dots. Very abstract and pretty much readable.

I was about to publish this as a candidate for HMC, but I didn't do it. Why? Problems with "hand made" sample and frustration after all. Basically that was the reason. I cut out some of the letters (a phrase: "Working hard") with a knife in a bunch of different materials like cloth, paper, leather, plastic, even in sliced cheese, everything on a contour... And I lost the outcomes :|. I don't know where I put them. Yeah, I lost them about 2 days ago, I could make another cut-out letters, but those were perfect, I was so happy with them, but I had no afflation to make new ones. When I'll find them I'll show them up here.
The "N" made from cheese was lying in the fridge so far (for an obvious reason)... I was really hungry, and a sandwich without cheese is no more a sandwich.
It looks too "techno-ish" to be published without a photograph of the font in a real life.

Fresh baked. [Not inspired by Nike®]
Each character is max. 32 grid blocks tall. However, the total height of the fontstruction exceeds that. Couldn't be helped; the curves just make it so. Maybe that disqualifies it from the competition, which is OK, but the design had to take precedence over the rules.
This fs has been in the works for a while and was not specifically begun for the handmadecomp. It started off quite crude...and evolved into the baroque-ness over time. With all the shape possibilities, it may never be 'done' done.

I wanted to create something that was somehow consistent but without any set rules on structure, aside from basic things like letter height. Kind of industrial/mechanical, but mostly random.
